Mistakes better than nightmare of VAR: Poch
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino branded the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system that will be used at the World Cup this summer a 'nightmare' after his side were involved in another stop-start FA Cup tie.
Spurs cruised into the semifinals with a 3-0 win at Swansea with Christian Eriksen scoring twice to make light of Harry Kane's absence through injury.
"It's a nightmare. I feel so sorry for the people trying to use that system," said Pochettino. "I think I prefer it when the ref and assistant make mistakes than to wait three or four minutes."
"We now need to see the reality of how it is going to affect the staff on the touchline and the officials," added Pochettino. "It is so complex, but the worst thing for me is the effect for the fan. It is going to be a massive problem for the future. We will see what happens at the World Cup."
